To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ERNST STRAHL, physician, a citizen of the State of .Hamburg,

German Empire, and a resident of Grosse Allee, Hamburg, in the State of Hamburg, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Woven Surgical Bandages, of which the following is'a specification.

1 Thexpresent invention relates to 'woven surgical bandages, the peculiarity of which is that they are provided with warp or weft threads or grou s thereof or stripes formed thereb of a di erentcolor from the rest of the fa ric. By this arrangement considerable advantages are offered 111 many respects.-

Among other points different bands. es can be readily distinguished, so that, or example, on removing the same from a bandaged limb each separate strip can be quickly removed in succession. It is thus never necessary to-search for the end of a bandage orfor the top layer thereof, and thus tangl and confusion of the bandages is obviat e if art can on one after t e other and subsequently reapp ied in the same order without danger -o confusion. Two bandages accordingto m invention are shown inthe accom anyin'g awings,inwhich- Figure 1 s ows a artially-rolled s cal bandage presenting tlii'ee warp-threads 8. out

The'bandages a lied to any removal be- T011851;

three-quarters of an inchapart of aldifierent Specification of Letters Patent. Applioation'filed February 29, 1904. some No. 196,846.

s olor froni the rest of the fabric, while Fig. 2 shows a similarbandage provided with weftthreads at certain regular intervals apart of p color, as shown in Fig. 2, or stripes or oups of colored warp or weft threads may e arra ed. v

- aving thus described my invention, what I claim is A woven surgical bandage, having stripes at certain regular intervals apart, ru in .one direction of the fabric and Patented Nov. 6,1906;

resented Incolored g the weft 3 may 0 course be of a distinctive throughout the entire extent. of t e same,

said striples being of a difrerent color from that of t e ground and interwoven with the latter, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth. g 1 4 1 In witness whereof I have hereunto signed 'my name, .this, 19th day the presence of two subscribingwitnesses.
